Dan john and (A+B+C = D)

A+B+C = D
Or
A = Upper body presses/pulls
B = lower body a la knee extension and hip hinge movements
C = abdominal
D = total fitness and performance

Dan john brings this formula (sic: it's just a visual aid to tell a complicated tale) into vogue to illustrate why and what he focusses his atheletes on.

Increasing:
A = small effect on D
B = noticable effect on D
C = not a direct effect on D, but without it A and B fall apart

Im learning this lesson way too late, and not for the first time. 2015 was my most bulletproof year. Neck, shoulders, hips, whatever. I could lift the world and be fine.  The difference was that every training session focussed on weighted and unweighted ab wheel rollouts.

The injuries i have are annoying, but it's ridiculous how quickly my pain and discomfort have gone away with the addition of corrective exercise.
